							<h4>ATLS 1220: Virtual Worlds: An Introduction to Computer Science</h4>
							<p>
								This course is designed to introduce students to the central ideas of computer science, to instill 
								ideas and practices of computational thinking, and to have students engage in activities that show 
								how computing and computer science change the world. Rather than focus on a specific tool or programming 
								language, this course focuses on the creative aspects of the field. Students will learn how to use 
								computing as a means to understand and solve problems, reflect upon the cultural impact of technology, 
								demonstrate computational thinking skills by building computer programs and games, learn information 
								retrieval skills by researching and remixing media, and engage in other creative endeavors of computer 
								science.
